There are many definitions of society. Under society it is considered to be the totality of all types of interaction and forms of association of people. This is a historically established type of large social system in which there is a specific form of relations taking shape in society.

The social structure of society reflects its division into small and large social groups. Every society consists of various large and small social groups, but the structure of society itself can only be those that are considered to be fundamental. These are social groups that build the system of society and determine its changes. In general, these groups occupy different positions in the hierarchy of society itself. They differ in terms of wealth, power, education and income. For example, classes as a social group are formed unconsciously, that is, independently of the consciousness or will of people. If we consider a political party as a social group, then it should be borne in mind that this is a conscious formation, and it is created purposefully by the efforts of specific people.

The bonds of the social structure of society are political, cultural, spiritual, legal and many other relations. It is customary to separate these areas within the framework of the theory, but in practice their close interaction can be traced: for example, it is difficult to imagine politics without economics or law and so on. Therefore, it is worth considering the symbiosis of the spiritual and social or social and economic, political and cultural and many others as social relations. In addition, society is also determined by the relationships that underlie the family (if it is regarded as a social institution), of individual classes and types of societies. Due to this interaction, the general scientific understanding of the laws of development of society is also difficult.

Nevertheless, the scientific community has identified a number of characteristics characteristic of society. This is hierarchy, self-regulation, openness, information, self-determination and self-organization. And in sociology, for example, the view of society as a bunch of social ties and interactions that exists in social space and time is approved. The features of this clot are autonomy, a high level of self-regulation, self-reproducibility and a large integrating force.

Of course, the most relevant sign for discussion is the self-organization of society. Researchers note that modern society is based on economic, ideological, sociocultural and political bonds, and it can rightfully be called transitive, that is, a transition from an industrial to an information society.
